Abstract

The literature has been searched for experiments on communication within organizational frameworks. Some apparently relevant work is cited and discussed in terms of an “anxiety arousal” hypothesis of communication within organizations. The effects upon communication of hierarchical status, organizational mobility, power and ingratiation are discussed. The paper concludes with a series of hypotheses about communication within school systems that could be the subject of empirical investigation by students of educational administration.
